I notice the matchups go by week.

So for the week 1 matchups do the cumulative results of each player for the week determine the winner?

Each category is a point. If you win the category, then you get a point. You want to win as many categories as possible.

You could win 6 categories and lose 4. Your record would be 6 and 4.

Someone else could win 9 categories and lose only 1. Their record would be 9 and 1.

There can be ties in a category also.

Once you get to the playoffs, all you have to do is win more categories than your opponent.

I think you can figure that out for yourself. Just go to the league site and look at your team. What are the categories?

When I click on my team it simply lists the players on my team. Then it lists G, A, PPP, SHG, etc. but there aren't 10 of those so that's why I asked. Nowhere does it list 10 categories so that's why I asked what are the 10 categories?

Check your league settings. Your categories are:
Goals
Assists
+/-
Penalty minutes
Power play points
Shots on goal

Wins
Goals against average
Save %
Shutouts

I'm only being Gregory Good Guy here because your line of questioning reminds me of my grandma if she were to try playing fantasy hockey.

Thanks Toasted Oates. I know fantasy sports are popular but not everyone has gotten involved. I'm not much of a fan of other sports (compared to cold steel on ice!) and I never got into fantasy hockey till I found this site.

I can't believe Schwartz was a free agent so I signed him.

I just can't believe he was available. I thought he would've been picked up in the first few rounds.

Seriously? Do you not understand the concept of a bench? What would be the point of setting lineups if you got points for everyone, bench or active? Dude, use your head.

As long as they score you should get points for ALL your players.

Do I get points when players who aren't on my team score? I wanted them to be on my fantasy team but someone else picked them up. But I should still get point for them, RIGHT?

No, I'm only talking about players on your own team.
